Amazing infographic charts all of Pujols' 3,000 hits

Albert Pujols joined the 3,000 hit club with a single in the fifth inning Friday during the Angels' 5-0 win over the Mariners. He is only the fourth player in history to hit 600 home runs and along with 3,000 hits.

"Getting 3,000 hits mean the most as far as individual numbers,'' Pujols tells USA TODAY Sports, "more than the home runs, more than anything, But I'll tell you that 2,000 RBI is pretty close. That's pretty special.''

Indeed, by the end of the season, Pujols and Hank Aaron should be the only players in history to have at least 3,000 hits, 2,000 RBI and 600 homers.
